House Of Staunton Capablanca Series luxury wood chess set frequently asked questions

What makes this chess set different from standard tournament sets?

The Capablanca Series chess set is an exact reproduction of the set used in the 1972 World Championship, crafted from premium woods and hand-carved by skilled artisans. It offers both historical significance and superior craftsmanship that standard sets can’t match.

Are the pieces durable enough for regular play?

Yes. The design features reinforced pawn collars and oversized rook ramparts, making them far less prone to breakage than delicate ornamental sets.

How stable are the pieces during intense games?

Each piece is heavily weighted and fitted with billiard cloth pads. They feel solid, balanced, and stay firmly in place during play.

Does the set come with extra pieces?

It does. You’ll receive four queens instead of the traditional two, a thoughtful addition for promoting pawns during competitive play.

What size is the king and will it feel substantial?

The king measures 9.5cm tall with a 4cm base, giving it an authoritative presence on the board without feeling oversized.

Is the board included and how is it different?

Yes, the set comes with a European-crafted 10x8 veneered board made of Mahogany and Maple, finished in satin for both elegance and durability.

How will my chessmen be stored safely?

A slide-top wooden chess box with a lined interior and divided compartments is included to keep your pieces protected and organised.

Why should I choose this set over a less expensive option?

You’re not just buying a chess set, you’re investing in a piece of history and craftsmanship that blends beauty, durability, and heritage in one package.
